A member asked:
Can asthma inhalers cause damage to your central nervous system/motor nerves?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: The bronchodilator may make you shake a little but it has not shown to inflict any permanent damage on the central nervous system. Ask you doctor to see if you can get a more purified version of the bronchodilator if you have shaking from your current inhaler.
